Let me just give you one example, and then see if you still feel the same way about having guns carried in schools. When the gunman at Virginia Tech opened fire on defenseless students, 3 ran out to their cars and got weapons that they had to leave there. When they returned, they confronted the gunman, and actually put an abrupt end to the carnage. Had they not taking immediate action, many more would have died, but if they would have had their weapons with them, this gunman might have been stopped before a single person died. It wasn't the law abiding gun owners who posed the risk, but they were the ones who brought an end to the crime. And guess what? The violence was being carried out by a man who illegally obtained his weapon. So what did gun laws do to prevent this?

Just a point of clarification, Debbie is a Senator, not a Congresswoman. And I agree wholeheartedly, she needs to go. Stupid people continue to vote for her, and others like Congressman Dale Kildee, who lives in Virginia, but returns to Michigan (5th District) only at election time. If Michigan residents would wise up and do minimal research, they would see these democrats do nothing for Michigan but drag us down, and then suddenly appear to care right before elections. Get rid of them all.

I was having pizza in his pizzeria, on Davison Road after a Generals game one night. Bob came in after playing in that game, and greeted every customer there. He was a true gentleman, who appreciated his customers. I know he was the same with his sporting goods business.

Well, maybe because Obama's failures take the whole country down with him. What conservatives really want is to get him out of the White House so the country can begin healing. Or are you one of those who think the economy has improved in the past three years, or unemployment really is "down", the borders are "safer" than at any time in our history.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry at your statement. You belong in a mental institution with your delusional beliefs. Michigan had anything but a budget surplus during Granholm's entire 8 year drain on Michigan. Obama had nothing to do with the auto turnaround. And our economy is not recovering. A few jobs for votes, and some made up government statistics does not a recovery make. Unemployment is still out of control (if you add those who are no longer drawing), the economy is in the tank, gas prices are higher than when Bush was in office, the borders are wide open, and our debt is beyond repair.

Romney is just Obama light. If you want more of the same socialism, and out of control union rule, just vote for Obama or Romney.

Personally, I'm sick and tire of all of them. Most people try to blame Bush for the millions of jobs leaving the US. And that's exactly what the unions want you to believe. But the reality is, Clinton signed NAFTA, giving Corporations the out, and of course, the union thugs that shake down companies, drove them out.

Don't let the unions convince you they're looking after the middle class. Take a look at the perks, benefits and houses that union bosses enjoy, while their rank and file sweat and labor for them. The unions would just as soon bankrupt a company, than give anything back. You have to ask yourself, if unions drive their companies out of business, what will that do for suppliers or other businesses dependent on them?

That won't happen in Michigan Dawn. Especially in Flint. You see how many welfare wenches wearing gold bling, driving in 'sclades with a $400 cell phone? That ain't welfare payin it. Their home boy be dealing and smokin.

That's when you sue, sue, sue. When insurance companies have had enough of covering idiots for wreckless driving, not paying attention and talking on their phones, causing accidents, then you'll see some real action.

Until then, lawyers will love it, and even encourage people to drive distracted.

If some of these bosses had to endure the conditions the bottom employees had to, they would never have advanced to the point of owning a restaurant. I've done things that would make a billy goat puke working for a Flint fast food restaurant, and there's no way one of these suit and tie prima donna's would have. The show makes it "appear" they are doing actual work, but don't be deceived.

Now I do believe Mr. Balen and his wife did the dirty work to get their business off the ground. But they wouldn't now. And I actually believe they shouldn't have to. They sold their home, bought a business, and now provide many jobs for others. They should reap the rewards for their hard work.

That's what these "occupiers" just can't get through their thick and empty heads. Business owners worked extremely hard to build a business which employs people. Their employees didn't make all those sacrifices. Why do they feel the businessman owes them?

Workers wouldn't be losing rights today, if their leadership was still about what it was back then. Today, they kill jobs by forcing too much on the employer, and their corruption has caused them the loss of all credibility.
